| Preferred label | Pyrenean [Xerobromion] |
| Definition | Hill and montane xerophile calcareous grasslands of the Pyrenees and adjacent areas; in the pubescent oak level of the eastern part of the range [Xerobromion] grasslands with [Koeleria vallesiana], [Festuca ovina] s.l. and Bromus erectus come in contact with [Aphyllanthion] formations occupying more humid soils and closed postcultural [Brachypodium] grasslands of the [Brachypodion phoenicoides]. On the south side of the range, xerophile pastures are represented in lower zones and on the protected adrets by communities of the [Aphyllanthion], of decidedly Mediterranean hue, while the formations of the [Xerobromion], of more Euro-Siberian character, occupy the other situations. Chamaephytes such as [Helianthemum nummularium], [Artemisia alba], [Teucrium pyrenaicum], [Ononis spinosa], [Ononis natrix] are abundant alongside the gramineous [Phleum phleoides], [Festuca ovina] s.l., and [Carex humilis]. |
